Really enjoyed the concert. Hadn't been in O2 since renovation and found it very impressive.Sound quality, graphics on stage, and quality of performances from Billy Joel himself and all his band members was second to none.

Absolutely amazing. The band were incredible, Billy's voice was fantastic and the musicianship was sublime.Without doubt the best concert I have ever been at.... I may be a little biased as I have been a BJ fan for several decades and regularly play his music (as a pianist).My night was made when he played "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant"... OMG.

I would go again tonight and again tomorrow night, and the night after etc. etc.

The opening act really set the tone for the night, Tom Odell is a big fan of Billy Joel and even said so during his act, so it really got a good buzz going. When Billy finally came on i was just blown away, it more than i could have hoped for. l have been looking forward to this since the beginning of the year and it was really brilliant. My only down side of it was there was to many tall people in the crowd and i had to stand on my toes for most of it, but even then i didn't really mind. I totally enjoyed myself.The atmosphere in the O2 really added to it and made my night something special, i am not a fan of outdoor concerts so the O2 is really ideal which is why i love going there. My husband who is not a big fan of Billy also enjoyed it, he said it was not so much a concert but a show, and what a show. Totally recommended. 5 stars all the way.

Absolutely Brilliant! Never seen him live before. Played All the old familiars.. Allentown, Pianoman, River of Dreams, Uptown Girl (hear that live from the man himself was a buzz for me) with crowd singing along. Few songs not so familiar to me but still great.The sound was great, the band amazing. Man himself in great voice & great banter with the crowd.

As with his previous visits to Ireland, Billy Joel looked like a singer who was engaging with the crowd and actually enjoying performing. He's always been a quality act and he can still manage to get the voice range he had years ago. I wonder, will this be his last visit to Ireland? I suspect that nobody left this concert disappointed

I trully could not tell the difference between Billy's voice on a CD and his voice live, he is incredible, the piano playing unreal and overall, just amazing to see this complete legend in action.

The downside, is he is not great at crowd interaction (spoke very low like he was used to a very small venue), but his music is so awesome, it did not affect the crowd in anyway.

He has so many hits, that I will have to go again hoping to hear the ones he didnt have time to play....just amazing artist.
